1 Yohane 1
1 Yɛrekyerɛw mo afa Nkwa Asɛm a ɛwɔ hɔ fi mfiase; nea yɛate, nea yɛde yɛn ani ahu, nea yɛhwɛe na yɛde yɛn nsa kae, eyi ne Nkwa Asɛm a yɛreka ho asɛm no.
WE announce to you that which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, and seen with our eyes, have seen, and touched with our hands, that which is the Word of life.
2 Nkwa no daa ne ho adi; yɛahu na yɛadi ho adanse, na yɛka nkwa a enni awiei a na ɛwɔ Agya no nkyɛn na wɔada no adi akyerɛ yɛn no kyerɛ mo. (aiōnios g166)
And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and testify, and preach to you the eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us. (aiōnios g166)
3 Yɛkaa nea yehui na yɛtee no kyerɛɛ mo nso, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo ne yɛn bɛyɛ adedifo wɔ ɔdɔ a yɛne Agya no ne Ɔba Yesu Kristo wɔ no mu.
And what we have seen and heard, we make known also to you, that you may have communion with us; and our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jeshu the Meshiha.
4 Yɛrekyerɛw eyi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yɛn anigye bewie pɛyɛ.
And these write we unto you, that our joy which is in you may be complete.
5 Afei, eyi ne asɛm a yɛate afi ne Ba no nkyɛn a yɛrebɔ mo amanneɛ. Onyankopɔn yɛ hann a sum nni ne mu koraa.
And this is the annunciation which we have heard from him, and announce to you, that Aloha is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6 Na sɛ afei yɛka se yɛne no wɔ ayɔnkofa na saa bere koro no ara mu yɛte sum mu a, na yɛredi atoro wɔ yɛn nsɛm ne yɛn nneyɛe mu.
And if we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and in the truth do not proceed;
7 Na sɛ yɛte hann mu sɛnea ɔte hann mu no a, ɛno de na yɛne yɛn ho yɛn ho wɔ ayɔnkofa, na ne Ba Yesu no mogya tew yɛn ho fi bɔne nyinaa ho.
but if in the light we walk, as He is in the light, we have communion with one another, and the blood of Jeshu his Son cleanseth us from all our sins.
8 Sɛ yɛka se yenni bɔne a, na yɛdaadaa yɛn ho, na nokware no nni yɛn mu.
And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us;
9 Sɛ yɛka yɛn bɔne kyerɛ Onyankopɔn a, ɔyɛ ɔnokwafo ne ɔtreneeni sɛ ɔde yɛn bɔne bɛkyɛ yɛn, na watew yɛn ho afi nea ɛnte nyinaa ho.
but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 Sɛ yɛka se yɛnyɛɛ bɔne a, yɛma Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔtorofo a nʼAsɛm no nni yɛn mu.
And if we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
